Discovering Services from Requirements: The SeCSE Way

Zeit: Tue 24.10.2006, 11:00, 60 Minuten
Ort: HS 14

Zusammenfassung

Service-centric systems pose new challenges and opportunities for requirements processes and techniques. This talk will report new techniques developed by the EU-funded SeCSE Integrated Project that enable service discovery during early requirements processes and exploit discovered services to enhance requirements specifications. SeCSE's service discovery environment implements new capabilities that overcome existing requirements problems. The talk will outline the environment and describes the algorithm for discovering services from requirements that are expressed using structured natural language. The algorithm is demonstrated using a simple automotive example that was used in a requirements workshop with our industrial automotive partners in SeCSE to evaluate the potential utility of the algorithm when discovering new requirements from retrieved services.
